This strip's author made mention of Garfield collections; the original strip was featured in Garfield Hams It Up: His 31st Book, meaning the author owns that collection, either on its own or via the eleventh Fat Cat Three Pack three-volume collection (the author did not state which).
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
I was looking through my Garfield collections, searching for inspiration. I saw this strip, and this remix instantly popped into my head. That probably says something about me. >_>
The first time I read this strip, years ago, I thought that Garfield's right forearm (leg?) was reaching up to pick the man's pocket in the second panel. It wasn't until I looked at it more closely during the creation of this strip that I noticed all four of his paws are clearly visible and on the ground (excepting the right rear leg, but it's probably a safe assumption that he couldn't reach far enough with it). So I decided to edit out his right forearm, to make it look like he could be reaching up during the pat.
In case you're unaware, in the video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, if your pickpocket skill is 100 (the maximum), you can pickpocket items equipped by characters, even clothing they're currently wearing. I don't know whether that would extend to medical devices implanted in the body, but someone's probably made a mod for that.
P.S. I'm aware that the scale of the pacemaker is off.
Original strip: 1996-03-23.
